Thread:Comments:Micronesia left behind by the Paralympic movement/Comments from feedback form - "This is inaccurate. It's true..."

This is inaccurate. It's true that Guam and CNMI are considered territories of the US, but the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of Palau and the Republic of the Marshall Islands are all independent nations that have a seat in the United Nations. They all have Presidents that are Head of Government and Head of State. What else defines an independent nation? It's true, that after WWII they were a Trust Territory of the United States, but that status ended a long time ago and these nations all celebrate their Independence Day, when they truly became a soverign nation
